Deliciously Allergen Free Recipes

I have had the craziest week. Pete and I were gone traveling for work for 5 days, which is always discombobulating. Plus I missed my little girls and Mason so much! I am so lucky and grateful that my parents come and stay with the children when we need them to. As much as I love to have the children with me as much as possible, even when traveling for work, there are certain times where it easier for everyone if they are at home.

Plus my parents are awesome. They take care of everything. Even though I am an adult- I still love my mom to come and take care of things. Everything looks so pretty when she is here. The garden is pruned, there are flower arrangements in the house, chicken is roasting in the oven. The laundary is done. Everything just feels cleaner. You know what I mean?

She had also whipped together a birthday party for three different family members at our house. I was able to help by throwing together this fast and incredibly flavorful and beautiful crostini appetizer.

I made it with smoked salmon, but have also made it with smoked white king salmon (pictured here) and also smoked trout (ah-mazing!) This is super simple and will have everyone smacking their lips!

While this was made as an appetizer for 8, you could also serve two of these smoked salmon crostini on top of a green salad with an accompanying bowl of hot soup.

Oh my goodness, I could eat this all day long. Smoked salmon is always a hit in our house – my kids go crazy for it. I love when my parents come to take care of the kids, too. Inevitably, she has planted new flowers and re-organized the pantry by the time we return.

What a treat to have your parents come and stay with your little darlings! My mom would come and stay with our boys sometimes when we were away and it was wonderful for everyone – miss those days so much!!
